Chapter 1550Chapter 1550 Setting Their Sights On Him
Although the amount of spiritual energy and time required would usually increase along with a person’s
cultivation level, Jared was making ridiculously great progress with his cultivation training.
Unbeknownst to Jared and Colin, people had already set their sights on the courtyard they were
training at.
After all, it was hard not to notice such an insane amount of spiritual energy surrounding a courtyard
like a dense fog. Two men in uniform wielding sabers were keeping a close eye on that courtyard.
“It has been ten days now, and that fog of spiritual energy still hasn’t lifted. This must be the work of a
Spiritual Energy Collection Array. Let’s hurry up and report this to King Duncan!” whispered one of
them.
The other nodded and got ready to leave. Right as the two turned around, they saw a masked man
standing behind them.
The masked man then attacked them without warning, clawing at their throats with his fingers and
crushing their windpipes in an instant.
Just like that, the two men died before they could even respond.
The masked man then glanced at the courtyard, which was still covered in a fog of spiritual energy, and
said, “Does this guy see this place as a peaceful utopia of some sort? How careless of him…”
He then disappeared where he stood and reappeared inside the courtyard a second later.
As Jared was going through the most critical stage of his cultivation at the time, he was completely
focused on it, which made him oblivious to the changes in his surroundings.The masked man sneered when he saw Jared.
“Not even a defensive arcane array in place? He’s being far too careless here…” the masked man
mumbled as he tore the black mask off his head, revealing a face covered in pockmarks.
That man was none other than Flaxseed himself.
Flaxseed broke into a smile when he saw the faint golden glow on Jared’s body.
“Looks like this guy is about to make yet another breakthrough in his cultivation level!” he said while
retrieving a few charms from his pocket.
He then tossed the charms into the air and cast a spell, causing them to levitate around Jared as they
surrounded him with a beam of light. While waiting, Flaxseed sat down on the side and munched on
some peanuts.
The golden light around Jared’s body was getting brighter and brighter as another day went by.
He looked so majestic that one could easily mistake him for being an immortal.
“For someone with such a low cultivation level, he sure consumes a huge amount of spiritual energy!
What a monster…” Flaxseed exclaimed in shock and disbelief when he saw the state Jared was in.
Buzz!
Jared opened his eyes all of a sudden, his body exuding a golden glow as spiritual energy surged
through it.
“Man, training here feels so good! I’ve never felt this great in ages!” he exclaimed while stretching his
body.“Just so you know, you nearly lost your life back there! I doubt you’d be feeling good now if you were
dead!” Flaxseed said with a chuckle.
As Jared had just woken up from his training, he didn’t know Flaxseed was there until he heard his
voice.
The look on Jared’s face turned somewhat gloomy the moment he saw Flaxseed.
“What are you doing here, Mr. Flaxseed?” he asked in surprise.
“I’ve been here for a few months now. You probably would’ve been assassinated while cultivating if it
weren’t for me guarding you! I can’t believe you’d just start cultivating without setting up a defensive
arcane array! Doing so is equivalent to painting a target on your back!” Flaxseed lectured him.
novelbinJared felt a little awkward when he heard that. He had indeed been careless as he believed the
spiritual energy cultivators here were no strangers to such training.
On top of that, he believed he was safe because no one on the island knew who he was.
“Who would try to come after me, Mr. Flaxseed? I don’t think anyone here knows me at all!” Jared
asked in confusion.
I don’t get it. Why would anyone here want to kill me? Is it simply because this courtyard is richer in
spiritual energy?
